User 284190339 · 11 – 21 – 23 Fishing Report Tuesday saw gale warnings and rain so if anyone went fishing I fear for their sanity. The new year does not look good for fishing for summer flounder, black sea bass and bluefish. All three will see a cut in overall landings based on data…

User 284190339 · 11 – 20 – 23 Fishing Report Small craft advisories will turn into gale warnings with heavy rain so I don’t think there will be much fishing for the next few days. I spent some time outside on Monday and it was darn cold. The only Monday fishing report I had was…

User 284190339 · 11 – 19 – 23 Fishing Report Small craft advisories were up again on Sunday causing a blow out for the weekend. The remainder of the week is not looking too spiffy for fishing, duck hunting maybe, but fishing, not so much. I did get a couple of reports from earlier in…

User 284190339 · 11 – 14 – 23 Fishing Report Tuesday saw small craft advisories and no boats left Lewes or Indian River. I did have one good report from Lewes Harbour Marina. Tom Head took the Crack Of Dawn out to the tog grounds with two young ladies. Dawn Head caught an 18-inch tog…

User 284190339 · 11 – 13 – 23 Fishing Report Monday was a nice day for fishing and the boats that ran to ocean structure did very well. Small craft advisories are already up for Tuesday. At Lewes Harbour Marina they told us the Katydid had a boat limit of 120 sea bass plus some…

User 284190339 · 11 – 10 – 23 Fishing Report Fishing reports were a little thin on Friday. No boats left Lewes or Indian River and Old Inlet Bait and Tackle said the few folks that fished Indian River Inlet caught lots of short tog with a few keepers on sand crabs and green crabs.…

User 284190339 · 11 – 09 – 23 Fishing Report Summer came back on Thursday, but it brought a strong wind in the morning and that was enough to keep the boats at the dock ion Lewes and Indian River. Old Inlet Bait and Tackle said tog were caught from the rocks at Indian River…

User 284190339 · 11 – 07 – 23 Fishing Report Tuesday I recovered from my Monday fishing trip. I was worried about my shoulder, but it was my legs that ached from holding my seat as the waves tried to move me. Lewes Harbour Marina reported that no charter boats ran on Tuesday, but a…

User 284190339 · 11 – 06 – 23 Fishing Report Monday I went fishing! First time since August because of my shoulder and I took Mike Pizzolato’s electric reel along in case my shoulder gave out, but Mike’s outfit never left the rod holder. I was at the Angler dock in Ocean City by 5:00…

User 284190339 · 11 – 03 – 23 Fishing Report Friday was a beautiful day and the weekend looks wonderful so get out and do some fishing. At Lewes Harbour Marina they reported that Cindy Popovich caught her very first flounder on a recent trip to ocean structure. Every boat that went to the ocean…

Monday was the beginning of a quick return to fall. No boats left Lewes or Indian River. Breakwater Tackle on the fishing pier at Cape Henlopen State Park will be closing after today. They were packing up when I called and said very few folks fished on Monday and they only caught a couple of…

User 284190339 · 10 – 27 – 23 Fishing Report Friday was closer to summer than fall. I have a bit more information on that 7-pound trout caught on Thursday. Anthony Pepe caught the fish at the Del-Jersey-Land Reef while fishing for sea bass on the New Beginnings with Captain Rickie Krauss. Breakwater Tackle did…

User 284190339 · 10 – 24 – 23 Fishing Report Tuesday was as nice as advertised. Boats from Lewes and Indian River ran to ocean structure and came back with sea bass limits plus triggerfish, flounder and porgies. Old Inlet Bait and Tackle said the tog and sheepshead action continues at Indian River Inlet with…

User 284190339 · 10 – 23 – 23 Fishing Report Monday saw small craft advisories up in the morning and that was enough to keep the boats off the ocean and bay. Tuesday and Wednesday look good right now and we should have more reports tomorrow. Sea bass fishing has been good and that hopefully…

User 284190339 · 10 – 20 – 23 Fishing Report Not to anyone’s great surprise, no boats left the dock at Lewes Harbour Marina or out of Indian River Marina. If you believe the NOAA Marine Weather Forecast, they won’t be going on Saturday or Sunday so that’s another blown out weekend. Breakwater Tackle on…

User 284190339 · 10 – 19 – 23 Fishing Report If you didn’t go fishing on Thursday you won’t be going again until sometime next week. Even Captain Brent on the Katydid has cancelled his charters so you know the weather is going to be bad. Lewes Harbour Marina reported that the only boat that…

User 284190339 · 10 – 17 – 23 Fishing Report Tuesday brought bad news from Maryland’s Department of Natural Resources. The Chesapeake Bay’s striped bass young of the year numbers are out and they are dismal. The average is 1.02, the second lowest number since they began conducting the survey in 1954. The Atlantic States…

User 284190339 · 10 – 10 – 23 Fishing Report Tuesday was the reopening of black sea bass season and the weather was good, so I expected a lot of boats to be on the ocean. Boy was I wrong. As far as my two reporting stations, Lewes Harbour Marina and Hook ‘em and Cook…

User 284190339 · 10 – 09 – 23 Fishing Report On Monday I spoke with Lewes Harbour Marina and Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em. Both reported that no boats left the dock on Monday, but they expect quite a few to sail on Tuesday when black sea bass season reopens. The Delaware Mobile Surf Fisherman’s…

User 284190339 · 10 – 06 – 23 Fishing Report Friday saw some rough conditions on the ocean and there will be small craft advisories up on Saturday and Sunday. Mike at Lewes Harbour Marrina said a private boat fished the Outer Wall with sand fleas and caught sheepshead. Old Inlet Bait and Tackle said…

User 284190339 · 10 – 02 – 23 Fishing Report Monday was a lovely day on shore, but small craft advisories flew on the ocean. Lewes Harbour Marina said while no charter boats left the dock on Monday, Kyle Falgowski fished bay structure and caught a 13.38-pound sheepshead. Breakwater Tackle reported a good day on…

User 284190339 · 10 – 01 – 23 Fishing Report The sun returned on Sunday, but it didn’t do anything to settle the seas down. Small craft advisories flew all day and they will be up all day on Monday. To the best of my knowledge, no boats went out of Lewes or Indian River.…

User 284190339 · 09 – 30 – 23 Fishing Report Saturday was another lousy day on the water with small craft advisories up through Monday. The wind is forecast to stay out of the east all of next week with seas running to 5 feet as well. At least the sun, you remember the sun,…
